Cod.Or. 14.637 A miscellany This is an oblong notebook, almost half the pages of which are left blank, and which contains various texts. One colophon, of somewhat puzzling wording, is found on f. 166a; it gives the name of a scribe as ‘Abdullah, member of a tekke (‘dergah’) of Katerin (Katerini), and the date of 8 Te$nn-i sani 1316 (8 October 1901). The same copyist may also have copied (a part of) the other texts in the volume. In view of the contents, the notebook was probably owned by a member of the Bektashiye order of dervishes. (1) ff. la-4b (numbers counted from the back-cover) A fragment of a treatise on talismans. At least eleven folios have been tom out at the beginning, and another six between ff. 3 and 4. The treatise is divided into a number of chapters (bab) in which talismans for various occasions are described. The text is accompanied by some drawings. The last pages (4a-b) present a survey of the characteristics of the planets. Fragments of Arabic prayers, written upside down in pencil and ballpoint, are found on ff. 5a and 6a.
